Summary

Jaime Harrison is close to beating Lindsay Graham in the race for South Carolina’s Senate seat so let’s throwback to my interview with Jaime from earlier this year where he talks about who he is and what it’s like campaigning in the era of Coronavirus and what are South Carolina’s three different kinds of BBQ sauce? He does not mince words when talking about Graham and Mitch McConnell! This is a fascinating look at a rising Democratic political star who grew up poor and is now close to becoming a US Senator.
